Tun
A tun is a large unit of volume traditionally used to measure liquids, especially wine and other beverages, equivalent to approximately 252 gallons or 954 liters.
History/Origin
The tun originated in medieval Europe as a standard measure for wine and other liquids. Its size varied regionally, but it generally represented a large cask or vessel used in trade and storage during the Middle Ages.
Current Use
Today, the tun is primarily used in historical contexts, wine-making, and in the wine industry to refer to large barrels or casks. It is also used in some scientific and industrial applications related to volume measurement.
Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
Current Use
Today, the decistere is rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical contexts or specific regional applications within certain European countries.
